1 Radon Testing and Reporting Plan Tillamook School District #9 Tillamook, Oregon
2 Introduction: In 2015, the Oregon Legislature passed Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) which, in part, requires school districts to develop a plan for testing district-owned buildings for radon, test for radon, and report test results to parents, school boards, district staff, and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). This Radon Testing and Reporting Plan is designed to meet statute requirements for developing a radon testing plan for submittal to OHA by the deadline of September 1, Tillamook School District is committed to providing a safe environment for students and staff. As radon is the number one cause of cancer deaths in the United States among non-smokers, and schools are the second most commonly occupied buildings for children, testing for radon in schools is a priority for the Tillamook School District. This Radon Testing and Reporting Plan meets the guidelines outlined in OHA s Testing for Elevated Radon in Oregon Schools: A Protocol and Plan (draft; April 13, 2016), and will be initiated after September 1, 2016 with initial testing completed before the OHA deadline of January 1, Any questions about this document or results of radon testing should be directed to the Tillamook School District Maintenance Office at Jay Marugg, Maintenance Director, Tillamook School District (Signature line of District Official submitting document)

4 1. PLAN SUMMARY 1.1 Background Tillamook School District is located in Tillamook County, Oregon and has (9) schools and sites comprised of 14 buildings. Tillamook School District is committed to completing initial radon testing, in accordance with ORS , in district-owned schools and sites prior to January 1, It is estimated that approximately 290 rooms will need to be tested for radon based on the guidance outlined in the OHA Testing for Elevated Radon in Oregon Schools: A Protocol and Plan (draft, April 13, 2016) (Radon Protocol and Plan). Historic radon testing data for tests completed prior to January 1, 2006 is attached to this report for reference. 1.2 Regulatory Requirements In 2015, the Oregon Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 2931 to bring awareness to elevated radon levels in Oregon schools. HB 2931 later became Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) This Radon Testing and Reporting Plan is designed to help school districts fulfill the requirements of (ORS) of submitting a plan to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) by September 1, Per ORS , actual testing of schools will be completed before January 1, 2021, and testing results will be sent to OHA and posted on the school s or school district s website. 1.3 About Radon Radon is a naturally occurring colorless, odorless, tasteless, and radioactive gas. Radon comes from natural deposits of uranium in the soil and is found everywhere in the world. Uranium naturally decays into radium, which further breaks down into radon gas. Because radon is a gas, it can move up through the soil and enter buildings that are in contact with the soil. Radon is typically at its highest concentration in the lower portion of a building. Once radon enters a building, it is easily dispersed through the air. It then begins a radioactive decay process that leads to the creation of radon decay products. If inhaled, these radioactive particles (decay products) can be trapped in the lungs. As these particles decay further, they release small bursts of radiation, which can damage lung tissue and lead to lung cancer over the course of a lifetime. According to EPA estimates, radon is the number one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. No amount of radon is safe, but steps can be taken to reduce its potential for harm. For most school children and staff, the second largest contributor to radon exposure, next to their home is their school. As a result, both USEPA and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) recommend that school buildings and homes be tested for radon. For schools in Oregon, this recommendation became law in the 2015 Legislature (ORS ). 1.4 Action Level In the US, radioactivity is measured in Curies. A Curie is the amount of radioactivity released from one gram of radium. A picocurie is a millionth of a millionth, or a trillionth, of a Curie. Radon is measured and reported in picocuries per liters of air (pci/l). USEPA recommends reducing the concentration of radon in indoor environments to below the Radon Action Level of 4.0 pci/l. This action level is not health-based. No amount of radon is good for a person. 2. TESTING PLAN 2.1 Testing Locations The Tillamook School District will develop a detailed list of rooms for each site to be tested for radon in accordance with recommendations in the OHA Radon Protocol and Plan. The District will utilize each facility s
5 floor plan to determine testing locations in frequently-occupied rooms that are in contact with the ground or located above a crawlspace or basement, as required per ORS Locations to be tested will be identified on drawings to be included in final reports and future radon testing plans. Once testing locations are identified for each site, the District will calculate the number of test kits needed per site. One test kit or device will be used per room less than 2,000 square feet. For rooms greater than 2,000 square feet, one kit or detector will be placed every 2,000 square feet. Initial Short-Term Testing: All locations identified will be tested using short term activated charcoal adsorption test kits. Test kit, duplicate, and blank locations will be plotted on a building floor plan and tracked in a placement log or electronic database. Ideally, initial short-term testing will occur from September-December Testing will occur during normal school days or days when the HVAC system is functioning in the same manner as normal school days. Specific details and guidance outlining best practices for placing test kits and when to deploy test kits is not included in the scope of this plan. See APPENDIX A: RADON TEST PLACEMENT PROTOCOL CHECKLIST in the attached OHA Testing for Elevated Radon in Oregon Schools: A Protocol and Plan for details and guidance. Results of the initial short-term tests that are 4.0 pci/l will be evaluated using the quality assurance calculations listed in the INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS section of the attached OHA Testing for Elevated Radon in Oregon Schools: A Protocol and Plan. Tillamook School District will schedule long-term follow-up testing based on the initial short-term test results as indicated below: If the result is less than 2.0 pci/l, the District will test again every 10 years (as required by Oregon Revised Statute ). If the result is between 2.0 pci/l and 4.0 pci/l, the District will investigate options for fixing (lowering) the radon in that room (e.g., adjustments to HVAC, Sealing Entry Routes, etc.). If the result is between 4.0 pci/l to 8.0 pci/l, the District will perform a follow-up measurement of that room using a long-term test. This will be conducted over as much of a nine-month school year as possible, when rooms are likely to be occupied. If that result is equal to or greater than 4.0 pci/l, the District will investigate options for lowering the radon in that room (e.g., adjustments to HVAC, soil depressurization, sealing entry routes, building pressurization, zone-specific ventilation, etc.). If the initial test result is equal to or greater than 8.0 pci/l, the District will conduct a second shortterm test within a month. The follow up result is then averaged with the result of the initial short-term test (see follow-up testing below). If the average result of the two short-term tests is equal to or greater than 4.0 pci/l, the District will investigate options for lowering the radon in that room (e.g., adjustments to HVAC, soil depressurization, sealing entry routes, building pressurization, zone-specific ventilation, etc.). If the follow-up test is long-term, and the result is 4.0 pci/l or above, the District will investigate options for lowering the radon in that room (e.g., adjustments to HVAC, soil depressurization, sealing entry routes, building pressurization, zone-specific ventilation etc.).
6 NOTE: ALSO SEE CRM USE BELOW Results of any follow-up tests that are 4.0 pci/l will be evaluated using the same quality assurance calculations as the initial short-term tests listed in the INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS section of the attached OHA Testing for Elevated Radon in Oregon Schools: A Protocol and Plan. CRM Use The District may use continuous radon monitors (CRM) for follow-up long term and short term testing. The use of CRMs can help determine radon levels in a room during times it s actually occupied, which may in turn determine if adjustments to the HVAC system are adequate for reducing radon levels. Mitigation Mitigation measures are not specifically addressed in this plan but the District is committed to doing everything it can to reduce radon levels and provide a safe environment in every district building. The EPA, OHA Oregon Radon Awareness Program, and numerous non-governmental groups recommend that school districts take action to reduce the radon level in those rooms where the average of the initial and follow-up short-term kit results OR the result of the long-term kit used in follow-up is 4.0 pci/l or more. Although not required of school districts under ORS , it is recommended that school administration direct appropriate staff members to adjust building HVAC systems and retest. If this doesn t reduce the radon below 4.0 pci/l, school districts have the option of hiring a radon mitigation professional to reduce elevated radon levels identified through testing. Periodic Retesting Following initial short-term radon testing, District sites will be retested every 10 years as required by ORS Additional testing may be undertaken by the District, in addition to the 10 year retest cycle, should any of the conditions noted in the When Should Periodic Retesting be Done? section of the attached OHA Testing for Elevated Radon in Oregon Schools: A Protocol and Plan apply. 2.2 Reporting All radon testing results will be made available to the District s school board, the Oregon Health Authority, and readily available to parents, guardians, students, school employees, school volunteers, administrators, and community representatives at the school office, district office, or on a website for the school or school district as required by ORS Follow-up testing results, 10-year retest results, and mitigation implementation will also be made available.
